They aren't the same thing. TO-247 is huge (2SA5200). TO-218 is what TIP35/36C is. TO-3P (which is what is in the "blue" version) is similar in width (but not thickness) to TO-218.

I would put a few dollars on the outputs being Sanken. Case size isn't important; type is.

Yes correct, sorry I've had a few drinks and did a typo. Anyways your correct about the type which is actually being used. But I dont have schematics nor have I taken one apart so I dont know exactly what type of transistor it has. Now I prefer amplifier with the bigger output transistors, but then again all the old school amplifiers I've had, had big output transistors and never failed me.

Am pretty sure his reffering to both.
